The Bahamas, Islands/ Carribbean, FL Homes for Sale

The Bahamas is part of the Caribbean Islands located in the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Florida, and north of Cuba. Officially known as ‘The Commonwealth of The Bahamas’, the whole region consists of over 700 islands, cays, and islets spread out over 500 miles. Only 30 of those are inhabited and Nassau, the capital city, is found on the island of New Providence.

The tropical Savannah climate, low latitude, warm Gulf Stream, and low elevation means that the islands enjoy a warm winter-less climate. However they are occasionally impacted by tropical storms and hurricanes, and summer is typically the wettest season.

The islands range from small, uninhabited islets to the larger tourist spots that are packed with large-scale resorts and hotels. Tourists are drawn to the stunning clear waters, island paradise views, and scuba-diving and snorkeling opportunities. In Nassau on New Providence you’ll find British colonial buildings and horse-drawn carriages, whereas travel to the Exumas and you’ll find yachts lining the coastlines. Eleuthera is home to the Instagram-famous pink sandy beach, and San Salvador is thought to be the first new-world landing of Columbus. Disney even has its own private island here called ‘Castaway Cay’.

The range of islands to choose from means that the Real Estate options here are diverse. You’ll find luxury beachfront estates, condos, villas with landscaped gardens, waterfront homes, and vacation rentals all with their own beautiful features. You can even find your own private islands for sale!
